Just when I thought of going for a short swimming and sun-tanning session later after my piano lesson, the sky turned omnious like a dark veil suddenly blocking out the precious sunlight. Sigh, why does it have to rain every Saturday afternoon on my planned swim day!

I have decided to “revive” this blog after a long hiatus just to practice typing or “writing” in prose after a long break of not doing so. Instead, I am proud that I have been engaged in noble things that are contributing to the defence of my country.

I was having a rather boring Friday night yesterday. Strangely, I feel weird to be at home on a Friday night without hanging out with friends. I went out to Lot One alone in an attempt to have my dinner but was greeted with swarms of crowd. I have never seen Lot One that crowded before. All possible dining venues were packed with queue lines waiting anxiously for seats. That was when I realised that Taiwan pop sensation Jolin Tsai was there for an autograph session. The venue of the autograph session was perched on the roof-top garden of Lot One shopping mall and was never conspicuous in sight unlike the normal sessions that would take place at the ground level of the shopping mall. I have never been to the newly expanded roof-top garden of Lot One shopping mall and have no idea how to get my way up there. How I learned about the superstar’s presence was via two plasma TVs hanging above the central complex like how Mao’s picture was famously plastered on the walls facing Tiananmen Sqaure in Beijing. People stood along the railings at the second level to look at the pathetic plasma TVs. Some were ridiculously filming down what was being telecasted “live” on the TV sets. Never a fan of Chinese pop, I walked out of the mall to beat the crowd. That added disappointment to my already boring Friday night.
I would be going to my piano teacher’s house for a short performance later in the evening. Hopefully it would not be a disaster for I lacked discipline to practise every day. What a paradox; I am worried that I would never pass my Grade 8 piano practical examinations but yet I do not have the self motivation and discipline to practise hard for it.

Possibly meeting up with a few of my BMT mates or my cousin (which ever materialised eventually) to catch Angels & Demons tomorrow. I have wanted to watch the movie after having read the book ever since it opened in the cinemas but could not find any company. I do not enjoy wathcing movie all alone with no one to discuss the plot with in times when I need clarifications owing to my dismal comprehension ability. Ok, now I know why I could not find anyone soon to watch a movie with. I’m such a pain in the neck.

Cheers!
